Disciples heard him “Jesus he gets so angry”

He should look less white for sure. Like bernie Sanders

Looks to be a Windmühlen Knife.

Super common veggie knife in Germany with pretty soft steel so the wear out after some time.

Haven't seen such an extreme case so far though. Usually they break after a they get too thin

Depending on the state it's both. And it was indeed the state board that got onto Sycamore for the blowjob reindeer can.

This guy fucks

Well why didn't he just ask nicely for figs, then?

The books were written later by people who were close to Jesus or had direct interactions with him (specifically, Saul/Paul of Tarsus). The belief is that God inspired them to write the books and letters.

Yes and in Africa it's black Jesus and in Asia asian jesus. It's still just a fantasy character.

That kind of thing is my bag, baby.

This is some meta sh*t right here, and I am HERE for it.

Generally the portrayal of historic or traditional black characters, by white actors is now firmly frowned-upon. Jesus is treated as a special exception. This is probably because there are just so many portrayals of him as white that it has normalized if for most Christians. It is worth considering whether its time for this to change in new portrayals. Religion should not be immune to advances n morality.

> Nelson Mandela is a modern historical figure, we literally have pictures of likeness to go off of, living memory of him, his ethnicity is an undeniable part of his identity, we dont know anything about Jesus other than an accounts by authors after the fact compiling his teachings from oral to written accounts.

That does occur to me, but we have a pretty good idea what Jesus should look like, and he is often portrayed in a way which we know cannot be accurate. In the past when people did not travel as easily some mis-representation is understandable. It makes sense for people in the UK, say, to portray the fruit from the Adam and Eve story as an apple, as the audience wouldn't know what a fig, or many of the other candidate fruits looked like.

I do think, in all seriousness, it is time we stopped making new portrayals of Jesus as a white man. He wasn't a white man. It really shouldn't cause any problems to show him as a middle Eastern Jew.

>I shit you not Cesare Borgia.

TIL thanks.

And the choo choo train.

> Well, that's also a character where his ethnicity is a main point of his story.

The Jewishness of Jesus is a very important aspect of his story though. That is erased by the typical European portrayal of him.

Ya and Jesus was a brown Jew but everyone in America has whitewashed pictures/ sculptures of him.

> Well sure it would be pretty offense to have a white Nelson Mandela, but people seemed cool with a black Alexander Hamilton. Turns out, context matters.

As you might be aware its not the practice of cross-racial portrayal that is problematic in itself. It's not quite the same when a black actor plays a white person, as when a white actor plays a black person. The difference is that 'blackface' alludes to the systematic oppression of black people, and 'minstrel' performing. There is not the same connotation when it is the other way around.

In the case of Jesus, there is some attempt at erasure going on, certainly historically. It seems white Christians often don't like the prospect of being saved by a middle-Eastern Jew so they tend to obscure the fact in Christian art. (or at least that is a valid uncharitable interpretation) . In contrast we would not find it acceptable to present an alternate history of South Africa in which universal suffrage was obtained using the lifelong activism and sacrifice of a white man.

Same.
